Seems to work great for me on my Venu-2. Thank you!

works great on Vivoactive 3 after applying a tweak in the widget's settings @ Woland66, ext23: If you wear the vivoactive 3 watch on the right hand, button facing right or on the left hand, button facing left, you have to set the Map Declination to 180 degrees in the widget's settings via the Connect-App, otherwise the north and south direction is flipped.

Using this widget on Vivoactive 3 with "Right hand", "button facing right" settings results in incorrect North direction

It may be necessary to calibrate the sensor. https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/vivoactive3/EN-US/GUID-4C4297B5-1632-4CC8-98B9-67C6682A3745.html

Merci pour ce widget. Par contre, comment paramétrer la boussole car le nord pointe à l'ouest. Merci d'avance pour votre réponse.

Bonjour, je ne fais que de l'affichage pour étalonner votre boussole vous devez regarder dans les configurations de votre montre.

I try to refresh as much as possible without impacting the battery. After garmin send me every second the information of the sensor, but maybe depending on the model it's slower.

The compass continues pointing to the east and telling me it's north. Not sure why this is happening but I'm wondering if others are having similar problems. By the way I have a vivo active 3 music

On Vivos, you must already verify that you have configured the correct wrist and you may need to calibrate the sensor. My application only displays this value.

Bonjour, y a-t-il des réglages à faire ? Car le Nord n'est pas du tout en bon endroit, et quand je bouge le Nord aussi mais n'indique plus la même position......

Developer Reply
December 3, 2020, Alexis_Lecanu

Bonjour, je suppose que vous avez une vivoactive et que vous portez main droite. Garmin recommande de faire une étalonnage pour qu'il détecte que c'est main droite. Mon widget ne fait que d'afficher l'information que retourne Garmin, il n'y a pas de réglage a faire sur mon widget mais possible sur votre montre si elle est mal calibré. N'hésitez pas à me contacter via Contacter le Developper.

Application simple qui fait le job. Mais pourquoi a-t-elle besoin de ma fréquence cardiaque pour indiquer le nord? Cette application nécessite l'accès aux éléments suivants : Données de capteur (ANT+, fréquence cardiaque, compas)

Developer Reply
September 28, 2020, Alexis_Lecanu

J'ai besoin du capteur boussole pour que je puisse afficher a l'écran. Demander la permission des capteurs ne veut pas dire utiliser tout, et même si j'enregistrerai votre FC sur un widget ca consommerait la batterie pour rien. Si vous avez peur pour vous donnez il me vaudrait internet pour me les envoyer chose que je demande pas. Et je suis un simple développeur alors collecter des données je m'en moque complètement.

Can you email me at [email protected] to tell me your watch and send me a picture. Because yes it is functional

Simple and good! On my VA3, watch button had to be on right side. Button on left side would reverse compass 180 degrees.

Hello you can configure your watch right or left hand and you must recalibrate the sensors. It is managed by garmin and not me

Very weird for the removal of other widget you get there? For calibration it is in the watch sensors, because the widget only displays information from the sensor.

Je porte ma montre au bras gauche mais avec la couronne à gauche. Est-ce pour cela que l'affichage est inversé? Faudrait sinon ajouter un réglage pour cette éventualité...

Il y a juste a définir la montre comme porté a gauche dans les réglages de Garmin. Garmin y a déjà pensé

Merci pour cette réaction très rapide. c'est parfait pour mon utilisation et j’espère aussi pour les autres. Cette façon de développer avec possibilité de faire multiple réglages est parfaite. Une boussole simple, épurée sans fioritures mais très efficace. Bravo Cordialement
